Sales Engineer (Industrial Brakes)
Bridgwater
£45,000 - £50,000 + Car Allowance/Paid Travel + Career Progression + In-House Training
Are you a Sales Engineer from a Mechanical and or Hydraulics background, or a Mechanical Engineer looking to move into a sales-based role, looking for an exciting and varied position, where you can blend technical expertise with client-facing sales, for a nationwide manufacturer renowned for their cutting-edge industrial and heavy-duty brake systems?
Do you want to work in a role where you will get to work across a variety of sectors, including but not limited to the mining, steel, nuclear, and transportation sectors, where you will get the autonomy to turn the role into your own and sell into large, blue chip organisations throughout the UK?
On offer is the chance to become a staple-part of a renowned and worldwide manufacturer or heavy-duty brake systems, who supply their products on an international scale, and more locally working with organisations like Hinkley Point C and London Underground.
In this role you will be responsible for enquiring about both cold and warm leads, either through enquiries from potential clients/companies or by proactively going to target industries and developing relationships, eventually leading to the sale of company products. You will understand client braking system needs and provide technical expertise and be a prominent figure from the beginning of the sales process, all the way to after-sale care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
